In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.
